Gemily (Gemini + Emily) is the folk music trio comprised of Laz and San Slomovits, and
San’s daughter, Emily. Laz and San as the highly popular family music duo, Gemini,
have been performing throughout Michigan and the United States since 1973. Emily first
began joining them on stage when she was just eight years old, and increasingly since
graduating from college in 2016. All three are versatile instrumentalists and excellent
singers. Between them they play over a dozen instruments including guitars, violins,
mandolin, pennywhistle, and a variety of folk flutes and hand percussion instruments.
San and Laz’s recordings have won numerous awards from, among others, the
American Library Association, Parents’ Choice Magazine, National Parenting
Publications, the Wolf Trap Institute, Early Childhood News and ASCAP.
Emily, who studied classical violin for over a decade, is an excellent violinist in a
variety of styles including classical, jazz and folk and sings with a beautiful voice and in
a distinctive style. Besides Gemini, and her dad, San, she has performed and recorded
with many other Michigan musicians including, Billy King, Annie and Rod Capps, Billy
Brandt and Jill Jack.
Gemily’s concerts feature a wide range of traditional and contemporary folk, jazz
and classical music. Their beautifully blended harmony vocals and exciting instrumental
work breathe new life into a wide variety of American and international music, from folk
to classical, klezmer to Broadway show tunes, traditional to contemporary. Audiences
